Easy, Inexpensive DIY Halloween Decor

I can be pretty stingy when it comes to spending money on decorations. Though I appreciate how much decorations can contribute to the mood or ambiance of a place, I’m never quite convinced that the dollars equal the effect. So when it comes to decorating for parties or for holidays, I like to find as many free or inexpensive options as I can. Here are my favorite ideas for Halloween.

Outside

To entice daring Trick-or-Treaters to approach your home on Halloween night, try these nifty ideas for dressing up the exterior of your home.

Because Becca at Who Arted is super talented, she free handed the images above. If you are like me, and can barely sketch a ghost, here are some downloadable templates to help you create your own silhouettes:

Inside or Outside

You can hang these ghosts from a chandelier inside your home or from a tree in your front yard. Also, if you don’t have styrofoam balls laying around, substitute a small ballon, ping pong balls or large bouncy balls to shape the head.

When it comes to DIY Halloween decor, don’t limit yourself to the ideas found above. Instead, use them for inspiration. Use the silhouette templates on paper bags and pumpkins to create quick and easy decorations.

I’m so honored to have made the list! Thank you for showcasing my silhouette windows! I shared this link via my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/whoarted) and mentioned your great site. Thanks for included my ideas 🙂

OMGosh these are some really great ideas! I love them! I am going to be using a couple of them for my daycare kids. I love the tin cans for the older kids and the solo cups and oh those black mice are just too darn cute!!
